New Warlords Cinematic ImageWorld of Warcraft's Twitter released another teaser image for the Warlords of Draenor Cinematic this morning. Click on the image below for a higher-resolution version.

Expanded Faction HubsEach build, the faction hubs get more elaborate and personalized. In the latest build, the Alliance city got a new monument, extra buildings by the Night Elf moonwell, and more gears by the Gnome workshop.

Click here to see more recent faction hub improvements from last week.

Blue TweetsBlizzard developers have been tweeting many clarifications to the new build from yesterday. You can stay on top of blue tweets with our Blue Tweet Tracker allowing you to filter by important tweets and specific Blizzard staff, or follow @WowheadTweets for the most important ones.

Technical Game Designer Celestalon also answered questions about specific classes as well as the decision to change WoD flasks back to primary stats and how the WoD method of customizing your character with secondary stats via enchants, gems, and food is more powerful and less complex than Reforging.

Orc clans meet on the hill during the night with the unexpected presence of Garrosh, who will follow?

Wish the two big baddies were on the intro too... maybe that's the surprise

there always has to be atleast one comment complaining about looks.....do we really have to remember it's a WAR.FANTASY.MEDIEVAL(ish) game? the only people in the whole of Azeroth who cares about aesthetics are the Blood Elves, and this is a frikin ORC! for the love of Elune, they're meant to be savage, muscular, unhygienic barbarians! if you wanna be a pretty person with L'oreal hairstyles and fancy holy armor I'd recommend you to go play one of those asian mmos like Tera or Aion...*rant over*

Garrosh looks savage and muscular, without having long hair, a flat face and resembling a female. Hurts my eyes to look at her\/him. Blood Elves are basically High Elves, which were the highest race on Azeroth. Their high society was luxurious and their queen Azshara was as powerful as she was beautiful. Let's not forget the Night Elves loved Azshara, despite the fact they were in the other end of society, and she let demons walk all over them.

I kinda wish Grom was hairier... hehe, he's got arm hair but nothing on his torso!

Orcs are basically ugly beasts, this is a perfect representation. Pig face? Yep, also very accurate!\r\rWhere does all this I want my orc to stand upright and other nonsense come from?

So Dev resources were put into a system for us to get some cosmetic only farm implements.\rNo system for utilizing thousands in unused raid currency. \rNo effort in streamlining taxi pathing in Azeroth. \rNo heirloom tab. \rNo upgrade to social game functions. \rNo blood elves at launch. \r\rNo. \rWe get a @#^$*%& shovel. \r\r\rSeriously?

PS: Social and WoW no longer mix tbh

The Devs that work on models for weapons\/armor..etc do not do anything related whatsoever to anything you listed off. Different departments entirely. That's like saying a janitor also can help treat patients in a hospital and knows how to.

Totally realistic.

These posts are so tiresome. Consider two things, please:

(1) Think about the amount of effort in making a shovel, vs. the amount of effort in making two whole new race models with animations, customizations, all of the existing gear fitted onto it. Every item in your wish list is orders of magnitude more work than all those farm transmogs put together, which was probably just a single artist's afternoon.

(2) Your wish list for the game is uniquely your own, not some objective standard. If Blizzard doesn't tick them all off your personal list from top to bottom, that's *expected*, not a case of them having screwed up priorities. Other people with different wish lists play this game too.

Grom looks kinda odd, i wonder if they could use model from the warcraft 3 when he kills Mannoroth.

So if a option for obtaining the Emerald Drake is getting it from a faction, is it possible we're going to see the Green Dragonflight on Draenor?
